I think we saw Don Ho in '63 and I want to say we saw his dinner show at the International Marketplace which would be a short walk from The Reef Towers on Lewers Street. I remember Ho was late to come on and seemed pretty hammered. My main recollection is my parent's discomfort when Don asked several couples to take the dance floor and then had them kiss while dancing. It was an odd spectacle, kind of like an eighth grade make-out party. Otherwise, despite the delay, it was pretty cool to see a live show with a famous headliner.
